Get Set...

On September 20th we are officially launching Jericho Road Church! We really want to look towards this date to invite guests to see what we're all about. We will have a cookout, starting at 5:00 p.m. followed by an outdoor service at 6:00 p.m.

Everything will be provided so spread the word! We will also be passing out flyers in the Community on Saturday, September 12 at 4:00 p.m. We will meet at Cancun Connection. We will also be having a dinner party at Eric and Jenni's new house following this! (Eric will be recording the Michigan vs. Notre Dame game to watch if you're worried about missing it!)

Hope to see you all there... this is so exciting!! God is GOOD!

get ready...

I have never been so excited about anything within a church body than I am about this vision... For those of you who missed the meeting, we are setting out as a church, on a mission... a mission that will bring the kingdom of God into our communities and our world as we know it. Through tangible expressions and selfless acts of love, we will show our neighbors Christ. There are simple ways to make this happen... The journey begins in August! Join us!

Jericho Road Updater

This Sunday night we will be in our third week of the 'Ruth' series. It has been awesome for single's and married's alike! I hope you'll join us for this weeks service!



Tuesday, July 21 we are asking our church to fast and pray for what lies ahead for Jericho Road. We strongly believe God has amazing things in store for us if we remain faithful to what he's called us to.



Saturday, July 25 is our next Core Group Meeting. This is a great opportunity for you to hear what our BIG SURPRISE is coming up this fall (you don't want to miss it) and also to have your opinions and ideas heard. This is an exciting time to be on the ground floor of what's happening!




Saturday, August 15 we will be serving our community by giving away donuts and coffee to random strangers on and around Apple Ave (near our church location).




Thursday, August 20 we will be serving at National Project Homeless Connect hosted by Love INC (right next door to Cancun Connection). We will be passing out clothes, school supplies, food, etc to those who need it most in our community! This event is sure to bless you just as much as it blesses those we will be serving!!
